Spurs fans on Twitter have been reacting to the reported news on Tanguy Ndombele, which suggests that the Frenchman no longer wants to play under Jose Mourinho.
According to Julien Maynard, a journalist for the French media outlet Telefoot, (via Ricky Sacks), the midfielder has informed his Portuguese manager that he no longer wants to play under him. The journalist also suggests that several players have tried to mediate the situation, but any communication between Mourinho and his midfielder is now ‘broken’.
Spurs signed the 23-year-old for a club-record fee last summer, but he has struggled to make much of an impact in his first season in English football, with fitness issues perhaps preventing the French international from showcasing his talent, as he has made just 12 starts in the Premier League. During the enforced break, Mourinho met with the midfielder for a one-on-one training session, and suggested ahead of the restart that his attitude had dramatically improved, and perhaps that he was ready to play a part in the remaining fixtures.
Do you think Ndombele will leave the club this summer?
Yes
No
However, the Frenchman has subsequently been left on the bench for both of Spurs’ fixtures against Manchester United and West Ham United respectively, and it now appears as if the former Lyon man is no longer keen to work under the former Real Madrid boss.

Might as well get rid. His a waste of a shirt right now.

No issues there. He’s not good enough and we could do with the money.

Other Spurs fans suggested that it would be a big mistake to sell the Frenchman this summer.
What an absolute joke… This guys oozes quality and we dont play him when we clearly need it.
I dont understand!?

Overall, it seems as if the majority of these Spurs fans wouldn’t be too happy if the £46.8 million-rated man left the north London club in the near future.
